How it works
From a diagnostic to a portfolio, in the open
Five steps. Nothing hidden, nothing you can’t check.
- 1/5Diagnose
A RUDO Compass diagnostic reads math baseline, interests and weekly time — and produces a one-page Student Growth Map. The report is yours whether or not you enroll.
- 2/5Choose a project
From the real project world we pick a starting project with a real problem and, where possible, real users.
- 3/512 weeks
A six-stage roadmap with acceptance criteria published up-front. Every week has a concrete task with a verb, not a vague topic.
- 4/5Evidence
The Daily Four — Foundation, Project, Evidence, Reflection — leaves a continuous, verifiable trail.
- 5/5Portfolio
A publicly viewable artifact and a standalone project site the child owns and takes with them.
A child’s day
The Daily Four
A targeted math/skill micro-lesson filling exactly the gap the project needs.
Real hands-on work moving the project one concrete step forward.
Capture what changed — a version, a screenshot, a note.
A few honest sentences: what was hard, what you’d change.
Method roots
We speak the field’s best-practice language
We adopt the standards, we don’t copy the brands.
Seven essential elements become required fields on every project template.
A public Demo Day where the child presents the real work.
Reflection and a process archive, not just a polished final artifact.
A skills map where every claimed skill links to its evidence.
